The candles are available in more than 100 scents with numerous unique labels, each with a positive phrase meant to inspire calmness and happiness, the release said.

All of the candles are designed to invoke positive thoughts and promote mental well-being in addition to some designs having tie-ins to Ruminski’s own life and different “fun candles,” according to the release.

The candles are sold in about a dozen local shops.

“We are proud to bring another local partner to the college bookstore, especially one that is supporting a cause that’s so important to the community,” said Patty Clark, Commodore Books and More’s general manager.

Ruminski also works part time at a local restaurant and a bank.

In the future, he plans to raise awareness and help organize efforts to educate teachers in mental health first aid through his new campaign, the Hope Campaign, according to the release.

After high school, Ruminski plans to attend John Carroll University to pursue a double major in international business with language and culture and psychology, with plans to earn a doctorate in psychology.
